BOUND TO THREE ALPHAS-Chapter 67: MOON’S JUDGMENT

Chapter 67: Moon’s Judgment

The Moon Goddess stood in the room like silver starlight given form. Her presence made the air sparkle with power so pure it hurt to breathe. Magnus scrambled backward, his face twisted with shock. "You’re dead. I saw your body burn ages ago." "Death is just another door, Magnus." Her voice carried the sound of wind through ancient woods. "One I walk through whenever my children need me." The Alphas fell to their knees, even the unruly young ones. Only Liana stayed standing, though silver chains still burned her wrists. "My Goddess," Alpha Drake whispered. "We didn’t know—" "You knew exactly what you were doing." The Moon Goddess’s eyes blazed like twin stars. "You picked fear over faith. Control over kindness."

Magnus found his courage, or maybe his crazy. He grabbed his falling dagger and pointed it at Liana. "Divine or not, this omega risks everything we’ve built. She corrupts the natural order!" "Does she?" The Moon Goddess tilted her head. "Or does she restore it?" "I’ll prove she’s unworthy!" Magnus raised the blade higher. "Even if I have to cut her down myself!" That’s when Liana felt something amazing happen. The voices of Selene and Mara merged with her own, making harmony like thunder and music combined. When she spoke, power shook the room walls. "You want proof of worthiness, Magnus?" Three voices became one mighty sound. "Then let the moon itself judge me." She closed her eyes and reached toward the sky, even though tons of stone divided her from the surface. "Goddess of the silver light, mother of all wolves, I call upon you to observe this moment. Show these Alphas the truth they refuse to see." The chamber started to glow. Soft at first, then brighter, then brilliant as daylight. But this wasn’t torch flame or electric lamps. This was moonlight, impossible and pure, shining through solid rock as if it were made of glass. Every wolf in the room felt their connection to the moon increase. Hearts beat faster. Senses sharpened. The wolf spirit in each of them howled with recognition. "Impossible," Alpha Vera breathed. "It’s noon above ground. The moon isn’t even visible." "It is now," the Moon Goddess said simply. High overhead, far beyond the underground chamber, clouds scattered like scared birds. The sun dimmed as if making room for something bigger. And there, blazing in the noon sky, hung a full moon so bright it turned day into silver dusk. Cars stopped on faraway highways. Humans stared up in wonder and fear. Every werewolf in the world felt the divine spirit settle into their bones. "No Alpha in history has called the moon during daylight," Alpha Cameron whispered in awe. "Because no Alpha in history has needed to," Liana answered, her voice still carrying traces of ancient power. Magnus’s hand shook, but his grip on the dagger tightened. "Tricks and lies. I won’t be fooled by—" "Then prove it," Liana interrupted. She looked around the room, meeting each Alpha’s eyes. "Any of you who believe I’m unworthy, face me in single battle. fгeewebnovёl.com

No guns. No magic. Just strength against strength." The silver chains fell from her wrists like broken cobwebs. The metal hadn’t changed, but her power had grown beyond what simple silver could hold. "You’re barely five feet tall," Alpha Drake argued. "This isn’t fair combat." "Fair?" Liana laughed, and the sound held both humor and sadness. "Was it fair when you judged me without hearing my side? When you decided my fate before I entered this room?" Magnus stepped forward, his blade shining. "I accept your dare, false Luna. When I break your neck, this madness ends." "Magnus, no." The Moon Goddess’s voice brought warning. "You don’t understand what you’re—" "I understand perfectly." Magnus threw his knife aside. "She wants to prove her strength? Fine. I’ve killed rogues with my bare hands. I’ve fought bears and lived. One small omega won’t even slow me down." The other Alphas formed a circle, clearing room in the chamber’s center. Even the young rebels looked worried. Magnus stood six and a half feet tall, with muscles like iron cables and scars that told stories of countless fights. Liana barely reached his chest. "Last chance to surrender," Magnus offered mockingly. "I might let you live as a servant." "And I’ll give you the same option," Liana replied calmly. Magnus’s roar of rage bounced off the stone walls. He charged like an avalanche, hands swinging with enough force to shatter bones. Liana didn’t dodge. The first punch got her in the ribs, lifting her off the ground and sending her crashing into the chamber wall. Stone cracked from the impact. "Liana!" Kael started forward, but Rowan caught his arm. "She asked us to trust her," Rowan said quietly. "So we trust her." Magnus advanced like an animal, grinning at the blood on Liana’s lips. "Ready to yield?" Instead of answering, Liana pushed herself straight.

Her ribs screamed, but she smiled. "Is that your best shot?" Magnus’s second attack came faster, a combination of punches that would have killed an average wolf. Liana tried to stop, but he was too strong, too experienced. His fist connected with her jaw, spinning her around. Another blow to her stomach doubled her over. "Stop this!" Jace shouted. "She’s going to die!" But something strange was happening. Each hit that landed seemed to make Liana’s eyes glow brighter. The moonlight streaming through the chamber got stronger. Magnus grabbed her by the throat, lifting her off the ground with one huge hand. "Any last words, false Luna?" Liana met his eyes, and suddenly Magnus saw something that made his blood freeze. Compassion. Even as he choked the life from her, she looked at him with understanding instead of hate. "I’m... sorry," she whispered through his pressing grip. "Sorry for the pain... that made you... this way."

Then she put her small hands on his wrist. Power exploded between them. Not the violent force Magnus expected, but something far more frightening. Visions filled his mind, showing him futures he’d never imagined. He saw werewolf packs working together instead of fighting. Saw omegas and alphas stood as equals. Saw his own daughter, alive and happy, mated to the wolf she chose instead of the one he picked. He saw strength that came from unity instead of control. Love that won through healing instead of destroying. A world where wolves didn’t have to choose between tradition and progress because they’d found a way to respect both. Most shocking of all, he saw himself in that future. Not as a ruler, but as a teacher. Not as a killer, but as a builder. His grip relaxed. Liana dropped to the ground, gasping but living. "What... what did you show me?" Magnus stumbled backward, his face pale with shock. "The truth," Liana answered gently. "What we could become if we chose love over fear." Magnus looked around the room, seeing the other Alphas with new eyes. Young Serena, trying to build instead of tear down.

Alpha Cameron, finding bridges instead of walls. Even old Drake, whose anger came from losing his mate to his own pride. "I..." Magnus’s voice cracked. "I yield." The words hung in the air like thunder after lightning. "You what?" Alpha Vera couldn’t believe what she’d heard. "I yield," Magnus repeated, louder this time. He dropped to one knee before Liana. "I was wrong. About everything." The Moon Goddess smiled, her form beginning to shimmer and fade. "My work here is done." "Wait," Liana called out. "There’s so much I need to know. So much I don’t understand." "You understand enough," the Goddess answered. "Trust your heart. Trust your mates. Trust the ties that make you stronger together than apart." Her form dissolved into silver light that swirled once around the chamber before disappearing.

The supernatural moonlight began to fade, returning the room to flickering torchlight. But something had changed forever in that basement room. Magnus stood slowly, his eyes meeting Liana’s. "What happens now?" Before she could answer, footsteps thundered in the hallway outside. Real footsteps this time, heavy with purpose and anger. Alpha Vera’s face went white. "My fighters. I sent them to surround this place before the trial started." "How many?" Kael demanded, his hand moving to his sword. "Fifty," Vera whispered. "All armed. All with orders to kill anyone who tries to leave." The footsteps grew closer. "They don’t know what happened here," Alpha Drake realized. "They’ll attack first and ask questions later." Liana looked around at the Alphas, old and young, traditional and innovative. A moment ago they’d been foes. Now they faced a shared threat. "Well," she said with a small smile. "I guess we’ll find out if unity really is stronger than division." The chamber doors burst inward. "Nobody move!" The head warrior’s voice boomed through the room. "By order of the Alpha Coalition, you’re all under arrest!" But as his eyes adjusted to the dim light, the warrior’s confident expression turned to confusion. Magnus stood side by side with the omega he’d come to kill.

The young rebel Alphas flanked the traditional leaders they’d been fighting. And in the middle of it all, Liana glowed with power that made the air itself sing. "What in the moon’s name happened here?" the fighter breathed. Liana stepped forward, her words carrying new authority. "Change," she said simply. "And we’re just getting started."
